### Are you in contact with Home Assistant?
The Home Assistant/Nabu Casa team got in touch with me and will be part of a conversation with Haier.

### Did you agree to Haier's tos?
To create an account for Haier hOn you have to accept the terms of service. Without it, you can't connect your appliances to hOn and so you can't use Andre0512/hon.

### What bothers Haier?
Polling every 10 seconds is a bit much. The default interval for most integrations is 30 seconds. Even if the hOn app makes more requests more frequent, but it does it only in use and not 24/7.
As Haier explained in their answer, this generates a lot of traffic on the not so cheap aws hosting. I understand if Haier wishes a higher value here and will hopefully find a good solution with them.
_I had initially claimed 5 seconds, but it is actually "only" 10 seconds, see [this constant](https://github.com/Andre0512/hon/blob/main/custom_components/hon/const.py#L10)._
**Update 1: I had initially claimed 5 seconds, but it is actually "only" 10 seconds, see [this constant](https://github.com/Andre0512/hon/blob/main/custom_components/hon/const.py#L10).**
**Update 2: After discussion with Haier, we have switched to 60-second polling and are trying to work out a better solution.**
### How often has your plugin been installed?
Since the latest versions are downloaded [about 3000 times](https://tooomm.github.io/github-release-stats/?username=Andre0512&repository=hon) each on GitHub, I assume 2000-5000 active installations.

### Are there some secret keys stored in the repository?
There is a constant for a [client ID](https://github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn/blob/main/pyhon/const.py) and an [api key](https://github.com/Andre0512/pyhOn/blob/main/pyhon/const.py). They seems to be static because they are the same for requests from every account I saw.
